In the bottom of the eighth inning on Wednesday night in the Bronx, the Yankees were trailing the Blue Jays 6–4.
Giancarlo Stanton entered the batter’s box with a runner on first. Toronto pitcher Trevor Richards delivered the 1–0 pitch home and Stanton drove the 93 mile-per-hour four-seam fastball to deep left field.
Yankees play-by-play announcer John Sterling was certain that Stanton had just tied the game—except he didn’t.
“Here’s the 1–0, swung on and there it goes! Deep left center! That ball is high! It is far! It is gone … but caught,” Sterling proclaimed.
